Move to China, free traitor. And by the way, China’s dumping means t hey are selling it below cost at a loss and not that they saved money from taxes.

There is a difference between:

tariffs imposed when foreign manufacturers dump products at less than their cost of production (which I support) and:

tariffs imposed because a foreign manufacturer's actual cast of production is less than that of over-taxed, over-regulated, unionized, Obamacare'd, American manufacturers. I completely oppose tariffs in that case - we should take the burden off the American manufacturer by cutting the taxes and regulations.

Selling(dumping)any product below its production cost is financial suicide; destroying equity/capital which is economic nonsense.

Yes, you just prefer Chinese communist manufacturers.

Free trade should not apply to nations that don't hold our values nor allow for free competition nor to nations that manipulate their currencies.

Obamacare, unions, and the EPA may be your “values”, bunky, but they aren’t mine and I’m proud to say so.

Free traitor deflecting - you support “free trade” with Red China. Communist China is better and more free than America to you? Then bloody leave.

Check out Dateline On Assignment that aired tonight on NBC.

They had a story about the Chinese Steel used to build the new Bay Bridge. Almost every Weld on the Steel Structure the Chinese put together was faulty. Not just a few, almost all.

"Free traitor"

You use this silly phrase as if somehow you think I'll be intimidated by it.
